Time & Momentum: Market Rhythm
Does the market have its own innate rhythm? Is there a direct correlation between price relationship and market rhythm? In short, if there is indeed a rhythm that governs price movement, can we not detect distinct cycles of price pattern? This, along with the subject of market timing, will be the focus of TRAP, which I will discuss in length once I wrap up PMT.
For the time being, I would like to briefly touch upon the importance of market rhythm. Personally, I view price movement as a particular dance form that strictly adheres to the law of rhythms. The word rhythm is derived from Greek and it denotes "flow" or "cycle". In another word, it is an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occur. Sounds familiar? It should. Hence, it really all boils down to one thing for me: vibe.
Call me a vibe enthusiast. Whenever I see either strength or weakness forming in price movement, I try to also detect the underlying vibe. 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, etc. I ask myself whether the strength or weakness is gaining or waning in tempo? The key is to be in synch with the vibe. Once you get the vibe down, you're then able to twist and turn in flying colors.
